My dad's a genius.
•Read a book a week for 30 years.
•Socially strong & networks well.
•Can fix anything.
•Great leader.
He NEVER moved up in his company.
I asked him WHY & his answer brought me to tears.
Here’s THE BEST LESSON my dad taught me that you need to hear.
Same thing every year 😩
They wonder why there’s a lack of high quality English managers. Maybe it’s because you don’t give coaches working up the ranks these opportunities.
For context I’m 27 but I’ve been coaching for over 13 years and senior football for 6 years with…
'Shall I tell you why you don't remember that story? It was a black kid - and a white man had the sword.'
'Where were the riots' after the Hainault stabbing, asks @mrjamesob.

The Sun columnist Rod Liddle talking about Huw Edwards on Newsnight, but writing in The Spectator 2009 about how if he was a teacher he'd "sh*g the kids".
"The one thing stopping me from being a teacher was that I could not remotely conceive of not trying to shag the kids.
It seemed to me virtually impossible not to, and I was convinced that I'd be right in there fron Day One.
We're talking secondary school here by the way and even then I don't think I'd have dabbled much below Year 10..."

Btw @AdamBienkov is a great journalist to follow ⏬
Pale Blue Dot is a photo of Earth that was taken by the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990 from a distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) as it was leaving our solar system. This is what Carl Sagan said about the photo:
"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor, and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”
If you don’t have photo ID you can apply for an emergency proxy vote until 5pm on polling day.
Your proxy voter will need to show their ID to cast your vote.
This isn’t common knowledge (obviously) so share and tell those you know.

34 years ago we only went to watch a game of football. 97 people did not come home and those of us who did were left traumatised and our lives changed forever.
Our thoughts are with the families of the 97, all fellow survivors, both @LFC and @NFFC fans still suffering
YNWA
15 April 1989. A date football and our city will never forget.
Today, and always, our thoughts remain with @LFC and everyone affected by the tragedy that unfolded at Hillsborough.
RIP the 97. 💙❤️
They are not just 97 people. They are not just the 97. They are mates, dads and lads, couples, parents, sons and daughters.
They are people, loved and cherished. Every one of the 97 people who died at Hillsborough has a story. Never Forgotten.
